Massage Therapist

Kim’s passion is the potential of the human body, its amazing ability to function, and to heal. She ran competitively as a child and was a professional ballet dancer as a youth.  Her interest in the body developed as she did herself; over time with extensive study.   After a sports injury in 2000, Kim suffered a devastating herniated disc that confined her to bed for two years.  After seeing some of the best doctors and being subjected to numerous treatments in Western and Eastern medicine, Kim's back completely healed. Many doctors said that she would have to live her life managing the pain, but she made it a point to expand her knowledge about back treatments and dedicate her life to helping people with the excruciating pain she had felt herself.  After moving from her native Israel to Los Angeles, Kim discovered the healing art of massage and dedicated herself to perfecting the art. Kim has incorporated different massage methods that she has developed over the years doing medical massages and deep tissue work, and has recieved fantastic reviews by her clients.  Kim  moved to Beverly Hills and has now teamed up with Dr. Shakarian to provide massage therapy for his patients.  Kim has expertise in a variety of massage types:  deep tissue, sports, medical massage, Swedish, prenatal, and hot stones. She also uses a combination of customized techniques in order to achieve the desired results for her clients.  The techniques she has been trained in are: Watsu, Rolfing, Lomi Lomi, Thai, and Fertility.  Also, Kim takes notice of the client's desired pressure, level of stress and tension, medical conditions or injuries, and personal preferences.
